Deep Thoughts: Pastor Jose Figueroa arrested

Pastor Jose Figueroa arrested

Pastor Jose Figueroa was arrested for the murder of Alex Martinez in 1998. When approached by police, he confessed.

A Buffalo pastor is facing a murder charge in connection with the shooting death of a teenager nearly 12 years ago.

Police say Jose Figueroa, 31, quickly confessed to the crime after a recent tip led them to him. Figueroa had apparently turned his life around in recent years and police believe his faith is a big reason why he confessed.

I have a question. If Figueroa was a Christian and felt compelled to confess, then why didn't he turn himself in years ago? Where is his morality if he only confesses when confronted? Those grieving for Alex Martinez did so without closure. Martinez had an infant son who grew up without understanding why his father died. Figueroa made him suffer all these years. How is that the behavior of a man who turned himself around? It’s bullshit.

I must say, your whole blog here is very disappointing. With a title like "Deep Thoughts" I guess I was thinking there might actually be some, well, deep thoughts. Instead, just a long list of articles that show you seem to have a real bug up your ass about Christians who are hypocrites. Boring. Get over it. Hypocrites are everywhere, yourself as well, I'm sure. I haven't met a person without some hypocrisy, myself included! It's so easy to throw stones at others, but it's childish and unimaginitive.

News Flash! There are millions of christians in this country and many, many, many of them are hypocrites! No depth of thought found here, just the same old whining.

Oh my stars and garters, Mojoey! You've disappointed Joel!

Wow Joel. That whooshing noise you just heard? That was the point flying completely over your head.

Also, if you have to have the title of this blog *explained* to you, then you're completely hopeless in any case.

So, run along and play. Try to avoid any "disappointing" blogs in the future. We wouldn't want you to permanently damage your ultra-sensitive disappointment bone or something.

Talk about missing the point. You completely missed mine. Just continue to surround yourself with people who don't challenge your narrow-mindedness and you should be able to continue feeling smarter and "above" the rest. I guess you get what you're looking for.

I don't think expecting intelligence and something more than stone throwing is "ultra-senstive", but to each his own. Glad I could give you something to feel self-righteous about.
